ABOUT ME

jlondonaboutme.jpg
Hello there good chaps. Being i am not aloud to say my real name so ill give you a few of my nicknames. hot kid, ogre, skinny.
Some words that describe me are, hot, ice devouring tornado, and anorexic. I love to play football but i don't like to run, running es muy mal.
I also like to do track, I throw discus and occasionally run the 100 meter along with the 2 mile. I also milk cows in my free time, that's what gets me going in the morning. My lab group includes some of my best friends, well except for Aly. Right now football is consuming my life along with showing cows. I take the winter off from school sports then pick back up in the spring with track. If you think the kid waving in the jersey is hot, let me know:)

Tulip

1. Tulip
2.Tulipa gesneriana

5.the whole group has a thick set of leaves.
6. they wood is used as a very important north American tulip wood
7. they are thick branches that are short and stubby.
8. eastern north America. No



Marine Bio

You are… Methanococcus jannischii! Wow! You are Methanococcus jannischii!

Similar to you, this microbe is a bit messy. Its cell contents aren’t neatly organized, in much the same way that your socks never manage to find their way into a drawer! Like you, this microbe likes to lay low and is found on the “bottom bunk” of the ocean, near the sea floor. In fact, the individual in the image was sampled from a hydrothermal vent at a depth of 2,600 m (8,500 ft)! Photo credit: B. Boonyaratanakornkit and D.S. Clark, Chemical Engineering, and G. Vrdoljak, Electron microscope lab, UC Berkeley. (Click on it to see a larger version.)


Activity 2
a. How are the steps in the dichotomous key organized? The 2 categories are split between prokaryote/ Eukaryote
b. What is the purpose of a dichotomous key? It helps you figure out which parts is your tree.
c. What characteristics were used in the steps of the dichotomous key? Amounts of water, what it eats, breathing, and gas making
d. Which bacteria are you most closely related to? Halobacterium
e. Which bacteria are you most different from? anything eukaryotes secton

Biomolecules

1. I tested milk for the experiment.When i did the simple sugar test it showed that it did not react and that it was not present in milk. When i tested for starch i found that it is absent in milk. The next 2 tests that i did were for fat and protein and i found that both of those are present.
2. yes some biomolecules have the same reaction as others. The reason they do is because some of them share the same componets as the others causing them to react in the same way for some of them.
3. Some other results I observed in the class that can be used are that most of the foods that I hypothesized to have little to know fats or oils, did have them. I can use this information to conclude that we don’t always know what is in the foods that we are eating.

Catalase lab

Warm HP ROOM HP COLD HP
Milk NO NO NO

Analysis
I found that milk has no enzymes. i know this because it didn't react to any of the H.P. in the experiment. Other foods in the class reacted and i found that had some enzymes in them.

Question: i don't know why for some of the experiments the H.P quickly went through the food and on others it took time to go though.
Answer: some of the foods were thicker then others which took longer to get through.
Source: i asked people's opinions in the class.

The relationship with light intensity to photosynthesis is the higher the light intensity is the more ATP's are made or atleast the % of ATP's are higher. The relationship of wavelength to the process of photosynthesis is the higher the Wavelength the more ATP and % of ATP's are made. The Pigment colors are related to photosynthesis because how high the wave length is and how often photosynthesis has effect on how the colors separate.

Chromatography lab conclusion

we took a leaf and ground it up with acetone mixed with it. We then took a drop of the ground up leaf and dropped it on a piece of paper. The paper was 12 inches long a 1 inch wide, we set the piece of paper in a tube with ethanol in it just so the ethanol touched the paper. The Ethanol made colors rise up from the piece of paper showing us the Rf values. we have 3 Rf values, 1, .66 and .33, anlong with 3 pigment values and 1 solvent line

Not every leaf has the same type of chlorophyll. This is because all of the leaves are different and have different types of Rf Values. There colors are different and very in how dark they are. This leads you to believe you that all the leaves have different types of Chlorophyll.

Yeast Lab

Screen_shot_2011-02-03_at_8.20.27_AM.png


1. Too much sugar or not enough sugar will not cause the yeast to rise. The sugar solution that had the most yeast rise was the 3% sugar solution.
2. The independent variables were the water temperature, amount of flour and yeast. the Dependent variable was the sugar soultion. The reason the sugar was dependent because i was measured out and counted for the other ones. The independent variables were those because even if they were to change they wouldnt affect anything else in the experiment.
3. The yeast worked well in warm water, therefore thats what it prefers. The sugar concentration has an effect because the higher the concentration the less the yeast will raise. it affects it becuase the higher the concentration, the less it raises.
4. 3% rose the most 5% was a little less 7% barely rose at all and 10% rose the least.
5.The yeast carried out anaerobic respiration because when glycolysis occurred, it changed the two pyruvate from glycolyis into ethanol and CO2 fermentation.

DNA replication begins with just a single strand of DNA. It is then unzipped by DNA helicase and separated by DNA polymerase. In this stage, the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases are broken. After that, the proper nitrogen bases line up with the nitrogen bases that were left after separation. Two exact models are now made. Finally, the two strands are zipped back together with DNA ligase and the product is two identical strands of DNA.

Class Traits Lab

1. I choose to use the freckles and Dimples traits. To have Dimples is the dominant trait; to not have them is the recessive trait. It is the same with freckles, having them is dominant and not having them is recessive. The results in our class are inaccurate to that because a lot more people don’t have them. In our class, 5 out of 11 girls had dimples, and 9 out of the 13 boys had dimples. For freckles, 6 out of 11 girls had freckles, and 1 out of 13 boys had it, which is rare because that is the dominant trait.
2. Comparing to first period, most of results were pretty close to that of our classes’. The trait numbers may not have been even but the boys were pretty much the same in both classes as well as both of the girls in each class. The numbers are pretty consistent through both classes.
3. I have chosen no long palmar muscle and roll tongue as the 2 traits. For no long palmar muscle, 8 out of 11 girls don’t have a long palmar muscle, and 9 out of 13 don’t have a long palmar muscle. For the rolling tongue, 9 out of 11 girls can, and 10 out of 13 boys can also roll it.
4. I’m doing right-handed dominance, my father and my mother both are right handed. So my genotype is RR because because parents are RR and both their parents are RR as well. The only way that I could be come left handed if my parents genotype was rr, Rr or rr rr.
